[Noisebridge-discuss] The Radio gauntlet is not tossed.

[Norman Bradley]

I'll check the KCAH call tomorrow.

We can only have 1 antenna and transmitter. From a cost point of view 
co-locating it at Noisebridge is the best.

It has been a long day. I will investigate on the government sites 
tomorrow. Call this an initial heads up. We only have 2 months to get it 
together.

As for transmitting a show, it is likely that we could set up an 
internet feed and do pre-recorded. I will fimd out.
